NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Dec. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) SN3 subsidiary and Bay West LLC have been approved by the Small Business Administration to enter into a mentor-protégé relationship under the All Small Mentor-Protégé Program. The commitment between SN3 (mentor) and Bay West (protégé) will provide beneficial business development opportunities for both companies and enhance the range of capabilities they can offer to the federal government.
